Biomethane is a renewable natural gas (RNG) produced by upgrading biogas. It's a clean energy source that works just like natural gas, but it's made from organic waste like food scraps, manure, and agricultural residues. Biomethane is also called bio-methane fuel or upgraded biogas. As countries across Southeast Asia—like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia—look for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, biomethane is gaining momentum as a clean, renewable energy source. But what exactly is biomethane, and how is it different from natural gas or raw biogas? Let’s break it down in simple terms, exploring how it’s made, what sets it apart, and why it matters for our region.
Biomethane production is accelerating in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. But what exactly is biomethane, how is it produced, and why does it matter for these Southeast Asian countries? Let’s explore the opportunities, challenges, regional leadership and why Biomethane Matters in Southeast Asia.
